Nate Robinson opens up about therapy, his comeback attempt, being dubbed ‘the little s***’

Former New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls guard Nate Robinson is on the comeback trail and hoping to return to the NBA – a league he now claims drove him to therapy.

‘The NBA gave me my depression,’ the 34-year-old Robinson told Bleacher Report. ‘I’ve never been a depressed person in my life.’
